Ingredients

For the Roll:

  • 1 cup sushi rice (cooked and seasoned)

  • 120g sashimi-grade fresh salmon, cut into strips

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • 1 slice tamago (Japanese sweet omelet)

  • 1 nori sheet, cut in half

  • 1 tsp seaweed powder (for exterior)

For Toppings:

  • 4 tbsp mango mayo (3 tbsp mayo + 1 tbsp mango purée)

  • 2 tbsp spicy tobiko

  • 2 tbsp microgreens (radish, arugula, etc.)

  • 1 tbsp white puffed quinoa or rice pearls (for crunch)

  • 1/2 tsp black sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Extras:

  • Soy sauce (for serving)

  • Pickled ginger & wasabi (to taste)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Rice:
    Rinse and cook 1 cup of sushi rice. Season with 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cool to room temperature.

  • Assemble the Roll Base:
    Place half a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice, flip it so the rice is on the outside.

  • Add Fillings:
    Lay salmon strips, avocado slices, and tamago in the center. Roll tightly using the bamboo mat to form an inside-out roll.

  • Coat & Slice:
    Roll the sushi log in seaweed powder. Slice into 6–8 pieces with a wet knife.

  • Add Toppings:
    Spoon mango mayo on top of each piece. Add spicy tobiko, microgreens, puffed quinoa, and black sesame.

  • Torch & Serve:
    Lightly torch the mayo topping if desired. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Notes

  • For more heat, mix sriracha into the mango mayo.

  • Use a sushi torch for authentic presentation.

  • Chill rice slightly for easier handling.
